The Los Angeles Rams are one of the oldest teams in the NFL. They’re also — now — one of the most valuable sports franchises both in the NFL and the entire world.
Sportico’s sports valuations reporter Kurt Badenhausen recently released his top-100 most valuable sports franchise list. And while the Rams aren’t at the top, the team is pretty close.
The Rams rank sixth on the list with a $7.79 billion evaluation. This is a 12% increase from a year ago, per Sportico. The Rams rank second among all NFL teams behind only the Dallas Cowboys, who rank No. 1 among all franchises with a net worth of $10.32 billion.
“The NFL dominates the top of the financial table thanks to its unprecedented combo of guaranteed revenue and cost certainty,” Badenhausen wrote.
The Rams are also the third-most valuable California-based franchise, behind the Golden State Warriors at $9.14 billion and the Los Angeles Lakers at $8.07 billion.
Including the Rams, teams owned by Stan Kroenke make the list three times. The NBA’s Denver Nuggets finished No. 60 with a $4.06 billion evaluation, while Arsenal Football Club of the English Premier League ranked No. 65 with a $3.91 billion.
The Rams have benefited from a lot of recent success under the leadership of general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay. It helps, too, that they made and won the Super Bowl in 2021 and have made the postseason in four of the past five seasons.
